OWNERS TESTIMONIALS
“I contacted Felicity after a recommendation from a friend at the end of 2017 having seen her success on the Eventing circuit, with a view to taking on the ride of my advanced eventer. Felicity gelled with him immediately. They won and placed at intermediate level and were on the podium at the Young Rider National Championships, less than 6 months into their partnership! They went on to have great success at advanced and 4*, which was incredibly exciting to watch as an owner. I subsequently sent Felicity other horses which she successfully competed up to intermediate/3* level on my behalf over the next 2 years. In my opinion, Felicity has maturity and professionalism beyond her years. Her communication skills are superb, and allowed me to feel involved throughout the journey. Unfortunately due to my personal circumstances I am currently taking a backseat as an event horse owner, but hope to be able to support Felicity again in the future. ”

“I am so very very proud to be the co-owner of the fabulous, stunning RSH Contend’Or aka Mickey! I have travelled that long road with Felicity and Mickey and have enjoyed every step of the way. Felicity is a special talent and I feel privileged, honoured and extremely lucky to be part of the journey. Felicity and Mickey at Bicton 5* was one of the most outstanding performances . Their XC and SJ was just incredible and their success was so well deserved. Bicton was a culmination of the hard work, and dedication Felicity has shown throughout. Will there ever be another Mickey. Not for me. He is quirky, spooky and certainly not easy but what a talent. Bicton was a tough course. Felicity has a real gift and it showed. They were amazing. Thank you for giving me the best time imaginable. Thank you to Vicky for all you do behind the scenes. What a team.”

“I cannot recommend Felicity enough if you are looking for lessons, competition and/or sales livery for your horses. My teenage daughter decided to take a break from competing horses in Summer 2023 to concentrate on her studies. We owned 2 very talented event horses and I quickly needed to find a rider I knew was capable of taking over the reins. One needed competing until the end of the season to then sell, and the other (particularly quirky) horse needed a new loan home. My first thought was Felicity, who had been teaching my daughter on and off for a few years previously. Felicity gelled with both horses, who are complicated rides, extremely quickly. She won her first event on our mare, and proceeded to gain top 5 results in the next few. Felicity then compiled adverts for both horses and put them on the market. She organised viewings and vettings and found both horses perfect homes. The whole process was extremely stress free, time efficient and straightforward. Felicity was organised, caring and professional through the whole time and this was all whilst going through a very hard and sad time in her personal life. I cannot thank her enough for looking after our horses as if they were her own and the amazing job she did competing and then finding them their next riders. Honestly the loveliest person to deal with. I wish her and Jonny lots of success with the business and Felicity with her career going forward as it’s truly deserved. .”

“Felicity is exceptional in every way. Deeply committed, professional and compassionate horsewoman. She is an absolute credit to the sport. Showing desire, passion and determination in everything she does. Felicity excels as a rider, coach and in producing horses. She is patient and kind supported by her highly experienced mum Vicky. Whether you are buying a horse, producing a horse, an owner, or looking for coaching Team Collins can do it all with professionalism, kindness and grace. Can’t recommend them enough.”

“I am very pleased that we sent our much loved thoroughbred to Felicity to prepare and sell. Felicity was brilliant from the first moment I contacted her. She understood what our horse needed and what we wanted. She suggested a program to get him fit and ready for sale. She delivered on budget, on time and was a pleasure to deal throughout the time our horse was with her, all at a cold and wet time of year. Felicity took care to find a suitable match for the horse in his new home and we are very grateful to her..”
C WITHERIDGE
“We’ve sent a couple of horses to Felicity over the past year and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Correct and fun training, excellent communication, excellent stable management. Our gawky 7 yo is going beautifully and I do hope you may get to take him to his first 90 sometime this year Felicity. Thank you for all you have done for us.”
R MOORE
“I have sent a horse to Felicity to produce in the past and she really 'eats, sleeps and breathes horses'. Her inherited passion, talent and dedication shines through in every area of horsemanship - whether in hand or under saddle. Felicity has an enormous wealth of experience in all areas of horses from their foaling to her own International success. Felicity and her mum Vicky are totally in tune with each other, working effortlessly together with the horses in their care, each horse is given the very best opportunity to thrive, being treated like an individual and not a number. Felicity goes out of her way to keep you updated and is super approachable. A more talented, kind, hard working and driven team to trust your equine with, would be difficult to find. I'd be equally confident to send Felicity an unbacked hairy beast or a 5 star eventer! I look forward to following Felicity’s career.”
C MURPHY
"Felicity is an outstanding, quiet and patient rider. Her knowledge of bringing on young and older horses, whether it is a quick helping hand, to going out and competing your horse for you, you couldn't ask for anything, or anyone, more. She will explain every step of the journey and keeps you updated on every process even photos of your horse too. A great team to be involved with!"
C PENFOLD
"Highly recommend Felicity not only for her ability as a rider, but for both her and Vicky's compassion for horse and owner. And with a relentless desire to get the best out of every single one of her rides, her results speak for themselves!"
K WISE
"I would rate Felicity as one of our most successful and exciting young producer and rider of event horses. The team are determined, dedicated and damn hard working and I would have no hesitation in recommending anyone with a promising young event horse to send it to Team Collins. We have already decided this is where our youngster will go when she is ready."
A MARLEY
"I have sent horses to Felicity to produce for me in the past, and am always delighted with the results. She has such great balance and style which allows the horse to move freely and naturally beneath her, enabling them to use their full scope and capabilities. Because of this she gives them such great confidence!"
L WALKER
"Taking a few months off to go away last Summer led to me sending my beloved albeit slightly over exuberant event horse Louis to Felicity. The fact she is of similar age to me and rides so encouragingly with such composure on such a range of horses were factors I favoured when a friend recommended her. The videos from before and after are proof of the magic she worked, so much so that he happily went off again this summer. The hard work Felicity and her team put in is the best and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a long or short term rider. Louis is now impatiently crossing his hooves to see if I’ll disappear again next Summer."
